Signametrics 6.5 digit PCI DMM SM40CAL.DAT Calibration File Needed
(1/3) > >>

Hi,
I have a couple Signametrics SM2040 PCI DMM cards.  I've got the drivers and software installed but unfortunately the application requires the SM40CAL.DAT file to run.  This was apparently on a floppy provided with the meters when purchased new.

They show an example of the SM40CAL.DAT file in the manual, but unfortunately it's not the whole thing.  I tried recreating the file with that example and my units serial number but it just throws an error bad cal data.  I think there's more to the file that they don't show, as they end it with ... ... ...

Does anyone have a SM40CAL.DAT file??  I know it will not be accurate but its better than nothing! I'm just curious if these work really.

Did you try Keysight? Their smx2060 driver claims to generate the calibration file if it can't find one

I didn’t bother contacting them.  This things been out of production for 20 years and they don’t give any technical support to hobbyists, so I wouldn’t expect any help.

Yeah I saw that in the smx2060 manual - no mention of it in the sm2040 manual.  It asks for the cal floppy during install.  If you don’t install it, it tells you that you need to copy it to c:\ before it will load.

I tried launching the app without the file there and it gives a similar error about needing it

managed to find  setup files for many signametrics cards   if someone need them  PM  me 

EDIT  i don't have the cal file ... i'm on NI cards

Hi,

New to this forum and just spotted this topic as I have just acquired one of these cards and ran into the same issue of needing calibration data.  Could you provide a SM40CAL.dat for an SM2040 card?

Thanks!
